Synopsis:
Cross-cultural competence is a skill that has become increasingly essential for the managers in multinational companies. For other business people this kind of competence may spell the difference between surviving and perishing in the new global economy. This book focuses on the dilemmas of these managers and offers constructive advice on dealing with culture shock and turning it to business advantage. Opposing values can be understood as complementary and reconcilable say Charles Hampden-Turner and Fons Trompenaars. A manager who concentrates on integrating rather than polarizing values will make much better business decisions. Furthermore the authors show wealth is actually created by reconciling values-in-conflict.
